1 I t is bad for those who make plans to do wrong, who lie on their beds thinking of something sinful to do! When morning comes, they do it, because it is in their power.

«¡Ay de los que en sus camas piensan iniquidad y maquinan el mal, y cuando llega la mañana lo ejecutan, porque tienen en sus manos el poder!

2 T hey want fields that belong to someone else, and take them. They want houses, and take them. They rob a man and his house, a man and what has been given to him.

Codician campos y los roban; casas, y las toman; oprimen al hombre y a su familia, al hombre y a su heredad.

3 S o the Lord says, “I am planning trouble against this family, from which you cannot save yourselves. You will no longer walk in pride, for it will be a time of much trouble.

Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: Yo planeo contra esta gente un mal del cual no libraréis el cuello, ni andaréis erguidos, porque el tiempo será malo.

4 O n that day they will make fun of you and sing a bitter song of sorrow, saying, ‘We are destroyed and everything is gone! My people’s land is divided. He takes it from me! He gives our fields to those who turned against us.’”

En aquel tiempo se os dedicará un refrán, y se os entonará una lamentación diciendo: “Del todo fuimos destruidos; él ha cambiado la heredad de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo nos quitó nuestros campos! ¡Los dio y los repartió a otros!”

5 S o you will have no one among the Lord’s people to divide the land in a right way for you. Men Who Lie

Por tanto, no habrá quien reparta heredades a suerte en la congregación de Jehová.

6 “ The people say to me, ‘Do not speak about these things, because we will not be put to shame.’

»No profeticéis, dicen a los que profetizan; no les profeticen, porque no les alcanzará la vergüenza.

7 S hould it be said, O people of Jacob: “Is the Spirit of the Lord angry? Would He do such things? Do not My Words do good to the one whose way is right and good?

Tú que te dices casa de Jacob, ¿acaso se ha agotado el espíritu de Jehová? ¿Son éstas sus obras? ¿No hacen mis palabras bien al que camina rectamente?

8 M y people have begun to hate those who are at peace with them. You pull the coat off from a brother Israelite, from those who pass by in peace like men returning from war.

El que ayer era mi pueblo, se ha levantado como enemigo; a los que pasaban confiados les quitasteis el manto de encima del vestido, como adversarios de guerra.

9 Y ou drive the women of My people away from their beautiful houses. You take My greatness away from their children forever.

A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas que eran su delicia; a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.

10 G et up and go away, for this is no place of rest, because it is made unclean. It is destroyed with much suffering.

Levantaos y andad, porque éste no es lugar de reposo, pues está contaminado, corrompido grandemente.

11 I f a man comes speaking lies and says, ‘I will speak to you about wine and strong drink,’ he would be the one for these people! Israel Is Gathered Together

Si alguno anda inventando falsedades y, mintiendo, dice: “Por vino y sidra profetizaré para ti”, ése sí será el profeta de este pueblo.

12 “ I will gather all of you together, Jacob. I will gather all those left of Israel. I will put them together like sheep within a fence, like a flock in its field. The land will be filled with the noise of many people.

»De cierto te juntaré todo, Jacob, recogeré ciertamente el resto de Israel; lo reuniré como ovejas de Bosra, como un rebaño en medio de su aprisco, y harán el estruendo de una multitud.

13 T he One Who breaks open the way will go out before them. They will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them, and the Lord will lead them.”

Subirá el que abre caminos delante de ellos; abrirán camino, pasarán la puerta y saldrán por ella. ¡Su rey pasará delante de ellos, y Jehová a su cabeza!»
